“The highly competitive telecom sector is witnessing a transformative moment in their journey with the launch of 5G networks and F2H (fibre-to-home),” said Shantanu Rooj, founder and chief executive, TeamLease EdTech.
The telecom department has completed the allocation of the 5G spectrum to the telecom providers and the three largest players are readying themselves to launch their services.
“This requires a rapid ramp-up of their teams at the entry level. Finding lateral talent is expensive and efficient; hence, most players are depending on fresh hires who can be trained for new emerging job roles,” Rooj said.
Hiring intent refers to hiring plans a company/sector has for a certain time period. So when one says 65% hiring intent, it means 65% companies in that sector have conveyed that they plan to hire people in a particular quarter.
The 47% intent to hire for H2 has grown from 41% in the first half, and from 25% in the second half of 2021. The staffing firm released a report detailing trends in fresher hiring across sectors on Thursday. The top two sectors by intent to hire freshers were information technology and ecommerce. Technical and digital profiles continue to be in demand in the telecom sector, as the ecosystem prepares itself to roll out 5G services.
As per Teamlease, the telecom industry plans to invest ₹3,345 crore in rolling out the phase 1of 5G networks, which includes investment in talent.
